IN  MEMORY  OF  MISS  JEWETT. 


It  is  no  easy  task   for  us,  the  friends  and 
colleagues  of  Sophie  Jewett   in  the   English 

Literature  Department  of  Wellesley  College, 
to  express  our  sense  of  loss;  our  grief  for  her 
abides  in  those  deep  places  where  words  may 
not  reach.  For  us  who  have  toiled  with  her 
shoulder  to  shoulder  she  has  meant  so  large 
a  part  of  whatever  was  best  and  finest  in 
our  endeavor  that  it  seemed  at  first  as  if 
the  work  could  not  go  on  without  her,  and 
the  passing  weeks  bring  but  a  keener  sense 
of  need.  The  world  which,  with  her,  seemed 
full  of  beauty  and  of  meaning,  without  her 
seems  stripped  and  bare.  From  everywhere 
the  words  of  her  students  and  her  readers 
testify  to  the  imperishable  worth  of  her 
achievement,  both  in  the  class  room  and  in 
her  published  work.  It  has  perhaps  been 
given  to  few  natures  to  express  themselves  so 
truly;  a  clarity  of  word  and  act  revealed  her 
very  self;  her  very  look  was  an  expression  of 
inner  loveliness.  To  that  high  courage,  that 
ardent  scholarship  of  unceasing  endeavor, 
that  fine  poetic  sense  which  made  her  in- 
terpreter of  visible  and  invisible  beauty,  that 
lender  sympathy  with  all  life,  we  pay  reverent 
tribute.  We  realize  how  great  has  been  the 
gift  of  friendship  with  one  for  whom  earth 
held  no  values  save  those  of  the  spirit,  how 
deep  is  the  boon  of  sorrow  so  full  of  divine 
significance. 

Signed  for  the  Department: 

M  vrgaret  Sherwood. 


The  Department  of  English  Literature, 
so  sorely  bereaved  last  autumn,  refrained 
from  any  formal  action  until  the-  return  of 
Miss  Sherwood  and  Miss  Shackford  from 
Europe.  At  our  first  meeting  of  the 
semester,  the  above  expression  of  our  love  and 
grief  for  Miss  Jewett  was  adopted. 

The  Department,  longing  to  commemorate 
so  beautiful  a  life-  and  personality  in  some 
abiding  form  of  beauty,  plans  to  p] 
the  east  transept  of  the  college  chapel,  in  the 
south  wall,  a  stained  glass  window.  Among 
the  suggestions  for  the  design  are  two  that 
especially  appeal  to  us  and  on  which  we  should 
value  the  opinion  of  Miss  Jcwett's  friends — 
something  in  the  way  of  symbolism  from 
"The  Pearl  ."perhaps  with  silvery  tints,  or  one 
of  the  Dante  angels  that  she  loved.  In  her 
own  "  Divina  Commedia"  we  find  marked 
a  passage  ( "  Purgatorio,"  Canto  VIII,  28-30) 
that  in  translation  runs:  "Green  as  leaflets 
just  now  born  were  their  garments,  which, 
beaten  and  blown  by  their  green  pinions, 
they  trailed  behind." 

A  considerable  portion  of  the  required  sum 
is  already  assured,  but  we  should  be  glad  to 
have  any  who  have  known  and  loved  Miss 
Jewett  join  witli  us  in  this  memorial.  Money 
sent  to  Miss  Margaret  Sherwood,  i<s  Abbott 
street,  will  be  acknowledged  and  added  to  the 
fund  already  deposited  in  the  Wellesley  bank. 
The  amounts  of  individual  contributions  will 
not  be  made  known  even  to  the  Department.

THE  NEW  SOCIETY    PLAN. 


Although  the  successive  motions  passed 
by  the  Society  Congress  have  been  duly 
printed  in  the  College  News,  a  less  formal 
forecast  of  the  actual  working  out '  of  the 
scheme  is  requ< 


The  Society  Membership  Committee  con- 
sistsof  the  Dean,  two  members  of  the  Faculty, 
and  two  students  whom  she  shall  appoint. 
It  is  objected  to  this  committee  that  th 
is  already  overworked,  that  the  Faculty  ele- 
ment is  too  large,  and  that  it  will  be  hard  to 
find  leading  students  who  are  not  society 
members.  In  answer,  it  may  be  frankly 
admitted  thai  this  commit  tic  is  an  experi- 
ment, if  not  a  makeshift.  The  Eligible  List, 
depending  mainly  on  scholarship,  will  have- 
to  be  made  up  from  records  not  accessible  to 
students.  Because  the  Dean  is  heavily 
worked,  especially  at  the  beginning  of  the 
college  year,  there  must  be  other  members 
of  the  Faculty  to  relieve  her,  SO  far  as  she  will 
consent  to  lie  relieved,  of  the  actual  labor  of 
the  lists.  If  leading  students  who  arc  non- 
society  girls  cannot  be  found,  it  may  be 
possible  to  find  society  girls  who,  as  members 
of  the  committee,  can  act  without  partiality 
for  their  own  societies.  Should  the  time  ever 
come  when,  as  by  Miss  Sherwood's  pr< 
tion — now,  together  with  the  question  of  the 
continuance  of  open  meetings,  before 
made  up  of  the  society  presidents  and  the 
principal  officers  of  Barnswallows — all  the 
college  societies  are  affiliated  with  the  general 
play-association,  it  has  been  suggested  that 
the  president  and  vice-presidents  of  this 
association  might  hold  themselves  free  from 
any  one  society  in  order  to  serve,  on  tin 
mittee,  the  interests  of  all;  and  by  that  time 
the  way  might  have  been  opened  to  reduce 
the  Faculty  representation  on  the  committee 
or  dispense  with  it  altogether. 

Since  the  Eligible  List,  (onfimed  to  juniors 
tors,  is  to  contain,  each  year,  0 
many  names  as  there  are  vacancies  in  the 
societies,  allowing  to  each,  society  fifty  mem 
bers,  its  standard  will  necessarily  be  a  shift- 
ing one.  In  addition  to  the  names  determined 
either  by  high  academic  standing  in  general 
or  by  marked  excellence  in  some  one  depart- 
ment, there  are  to  be  a  few  names  recom- 
mended on  the  ground  of  marked  public 
service.  These  recommendations,  coming 
from  the  class  presidents  and  the  presidents 
of  the  other  chief  college  organizations, 
Student  Government,  Christian  Association, 
Athleti.  ion,    Barnswallows,    will   be 

called  in  soon  after  Tree  Day,  and,  as  a  rule, 
adopted  by  the  Society  Membership  Com- 
mittee. In  the  spring  term,  too,  each  society 
will  publish  its  proposed  plan  of  work  for  the 
coming  year.  The  Eligible  List  will  be  made 
up  in  the  Dean's  office  as  soon  as  practicable 
in  the  summer  and  the  students  whose  names 
are  on  it  will  be  informed  by  letter  at  their 
homes,  with  the  request  that  their  applica- 
tions be  sent  in  by  a  given  date.  Each  appli- 
cant may  give  several  society  choices  in  order 
of  preference  and  should  state  the  reasons 
for  choice.  Reasons  relating  to  the  work  of 
the  society,  past  or  present  membership,  or 
any  other  reasons  will  be  fully  taken  into 
account  by  that  sub-committee  of  three, 
which  is  to  be  elected  from  its  own  number 
by  the  Society  Membership  Committee,  to 
place  the  applications.  At  the  same  dale 
there  will  be  due  from  each  society  a  list  on 
which  every  society  member  shall  have 
entered  no  more  than  three  names  of  girls 
whom  she  would  like  to  have  in  her  society. 
These  names  are  not  to  be  discussed  in  society 
meetings  nor  voted  on  in  any  way,  but  made 
up  quietly  and  personally  by  some  m 
to  lie  determined  in  each  society.  The 
Eligible  List  will  be  known,  as  a  list,  only  to 


ommittee.  TheTtask  of  the  sub-com- 
mittee will  be  to  match  these  lists  as  far  as 
possible,  securing  for  each  society  a  nucleu: 
of  girls  who  chose  thai  society  firsl 
and  were  especially  wanted  by  members  of 
.  and  meeting  the  wishes  of  the 
>:  I  0  far  a  may  be.  In  the  nature  of  the 
ease,  not  all  applicants  can  have  first  choice, 
nor  can  any  society  have  all  the  girls  whom 
its  individual  members  would  most  prefer. 
The  sub-committee  will  plan  to  do  its  work 
so  early  that  society  initiations  can  take 
place,  as  now,  soon  after  the  opening  of  the 
college  year. 

This  plan,  thus  roughly  sketched,  must, 
liki  "'  pioneer  plan,  work  out  its  own  salva- 
tion. Its  aim,  to  secure  a  more  generous  and 
democratic  basis  of  membership,  one  bring- 
ing the  societies  into  accord  with  all  other  or- 
ganizations recognized  and  fostered  by 
Wellesley,  should  make  the  college  patient 
with  defects  in  the  process.  Such  defects  need 
not  be  permanent.  The  weak  places  in  the 
plan  will  be  best  detected  and  most  skillfully 
mended  in  actual  operation.  It  was  nobody's 
plan  in  the  beginning,  but  at  the  end  it  had 
become,  in  a  sense,  everybody's  plan,  for  the 
final  vote  of  the  Congress,  expressing  faith 
in  this  scheme  so  slowly  worked  out  through 
five  long  sessions,  and  earnestly  commending 
it  to  the  societies,  was  unanimous. 

Mary  W.  Dewson, 

Secretary  of  the  Society  Congress. 


MRS.  MARGARET   DELANO. 


ead  Mis.  i  )eiam  I  .ays  a 

pleasure,  but  to  have  it  read  to  us  by  the 
authoress  herself  was  little  less  than  a  luxury, 
as  the  large  audience  of  Monday  evening, 
April  4,  witnessed.  After  her  introduction, 
Mrs.  Dcland  said  that  since  on  one  or  two 
similar  occasions  she  had  been  introducced 
as  "the  author  of  'Old  Chester  Tales,'  "  per- 
haps it  would  be  most  suitable  for  her  to  read 
a  selection  from  them  to-night.  Those  of  us 
who  had  read  "An  Encore"  before  were 
certainly  not  displeased  with  her  choice. 
Perhaps  the  most  admirable  characteristic 
of  the  talc  itself  is  the  perfect  appropriateness 

i  tic.  Not  only  in  the  bare  events  of  the 
narrative  is  (here  encore  but  also  in  the  very 
wording  and  phraseology  of  the  style  in 
which  it  is  written.  The  consistent  repetition 
gives  the  plot  an  effect  of  balance  which  is 
both  gratifying  and  humorous.  As  a  story, 
"An  Encore"  is  especially  adapted  to  oral 
reading;  it  is  made  up  so  much  of  delightfully 
spicy  conversation  which  results  from  the 
marked  individuality  of  every  character. 
And  Mrs.  Deland's  interpretation  of  her  work 
was  anything  but  disappointing.  She  caught 
the  spirit  of  all  the  characters  perfectly  and 
could  change  from  one  impersonation  to 
another,  apparently  without  any  difficulty. 
Her  success  in  portraying  each  personality 
to  us  was  not  due  to  tin  range  in  volume  of 
her  speaking  voice,  but  merely  to  her  perfect 
understanding  of  each  of  her  roles.  It 
was  through  this  sincere  sympathy  that  Mrs. 
Deland  obtained  also  the  truly  humorous 
effects,  which  enabled  us  to  see  the  romantic 
sloping  figure  of  Alfred  Price  ambling  over 
to  see  Mrs.  North,  or  to  appreciate  the  scru- 
pulous, conscientious  thoughtfulness  of  Mary 
North,  the  woman  who  "lived  fiercely  for 
another's  welfare."  Mrs.  Deland  also  em-

EDITORIAL. 


Did  you  ever,  in  the  midst  of  your  busy 
college  life,  stop  and  remember  how  you 
thought  of  college  before  you  came  to  Welles- 
ley? It  is  rather  amusing,  is  it  not,  in  the 
light  of  the  present  reality?  We  all  no  doubt 
thought  of  it  a  good  deal  before  we  came, 
planned  for  it  and  dreamed  of  it,  but  our 
visions  were  not  all  alike.  For  some  of  us 
no  doubt,  the  name  "college"  was  wrapped 
about  with  all  sorts  of  dreams  no  less  delight- 
ful than  vague.  It  meant  fudge  parties  and 
serenades,  numerous  friends,  pennant  and 
poster-bedecked  rooms,  tea  tables  and  a 
hundred  and  one  more  phases  of  college  life 
that  magazine  stories  delight  in  setting  forth. 
If  we  thotight  of  work  at  all,  it  was  as  a  sort 
of  hazy  background  of  courses  in  which  we 
had  always  had  a  vague  desire  to  dabble,  but 
it  was  certainly  not  to  interfere  with  our 
"  regular  college  com 

Perhaps  another  group  of  us  had  an  entire- 
ly different  idea  of  college  life.  We  thought  of 
it  as  a  place  where  work  was  the  only  thing 
worth  while  and  where  we  would  be  able  to 
carry  on  studies  and  research  in  a  congenial 
atmosphere  where  the  aim  of  everyone  was 
in  accordance  with  ours.  We  should  have  at 
hand  a  great  store  of  accumulated  knowledge 
and  a  great  opportunity  of  increasing  our 
own  learning.  This  was  to  be  our  one  aim 
and  our  one  ideal  and  we  rather  expected  to 
find  at  least  the  majority  of  our  fellow-stu- 
dents with  the  same  notion. 

Some  of  us  were  disappointed  when  at 
last  we  came  to  college  and  found  the  reality 
of  college  life.  For  some  of  us,  indeed,  the 
disappointment  was  a  happy  one — we  found 
Wellesley  so  much  better   than  anything  we

had  ever  expected  that  we  were  left  with  an 
inexhaustible  fund  of  enthusiasm  for  the 
college  and  all  its  members.  But  for  others 
of  us,  the  disappointment  was  not  so  pleasant. 
We  found  our  ideas  so  revolutionized  that  we 
were  not  quite  certain  just  what  ones  we  had 
started  out  with,  but  we  felt  confused  and  out 
of  harmony,  and  a  little  bit  pessimistic. 
We  said  we  weft'  disillusioned. 

If  we  were,  there's  a  cure  for  it,  and  we  can 
not  only  recover  from  the  disappointment. 
but  come  out  of  it  with  a  deeper  enthusiasm 
than  all  our  dreaming  could  have  inspired. 
Let  us  get  a  perspective — not  such  a  verv 
easy  task  when  we  are  shut  up  in  a  community 
of  our  own  and  so  greatly  concerned  with 
our  own  ideas  and  thoughts.  It's  hard  under 
those  circumstances  to  get  a  different  point 
of  view,  but  it's  one  of  the  quickest  ways  to 
knock  out  the  supports  from  under  dis- 
couragement and  disillusionment.  You, 
who  found,  much  to  your  surpirse,  that  work, 
good  hard  work,  was  given  an  important 
place  at  Wellesley,  that  it  was  even  possible 
for  work — or  the  lack  of  it — to  keep  you  from 
enjoying  some  of  the  things  you  had  set  your 
heart  on — take  a  view  ahead  of  your  college 
life — do  you  think  for  a  moment  that  your 
memory  of  the  four  years  at  Wellesley  will 
be  satisfactory  or  complete,  if  it  recalls  work 
superficially  done  and  work  done  as  a  task 
with  no  sense  of  the  privilege  it  unity 

that  many  girls  would  give  everything  to 
possess?  Here  we  have  a  chance  that  we  will 
never  have  again,  a  chance  that  cannot  be 
other  than  appreciated,  if  it  is  only  realized  — 
and  it  will  only  take  a  little  serious  thinking 
for  us  to  see  it  as  a  great  opportunity.  Try 
to  put  your  interest  into  what  you  are  doing 
in  your  academic  work,  even,  for  the  sake  of 
novelty,  do  a  little  more  than  you  have  to  do — 
impossible  thought! — and  you  will  come  more 
and  more  to  see  that  if  you  were  disappointed 
in  the  reality  after  your  dreams,  it  is  because 
your  dreams  were  incomplete.  You  will  not 
have  given  up  your  dreams,  they  will  merely 
have  taken  their  proper  place  in  the  perspec- 
tive, and  Wellesley  will  be  enough  better 
than  your  visions  of  it  than  you  could  ever 
have:  thought. 

And  you  who  felt  that  you  have  found  only 
careless  light-heartedness  and  indifferent 
application  where  you  hoped  to  be  one  of  a 
great  company  of  seekers  after  knowledge- 
suppose  you  stand  apart  and  look  at  your 
college  life  as  a  whole,  too.     Do  you  not  sec 


friendships  you  might  have  made  that  have 
passed  by  you  while  you  were  absorbed  in 
your  one  idea?  And  do  you  not  think  that 
you  will  long  for  them  with  a  great  longing 
when  you  have1  graduated  with  all  the  honors 
your  college  can  bestow  on  you?  Try  to  sec 
your  college  life  in  enough  of  its  entirety 
to  know  that  it  is  a  complex  experience  with 
many  sides,  and  the  opportunity  for  knowing 
and  loving  people  is  not  one  of  the  least  of 
these.  Xo  one  would  wish  you  to  get  less 
than  you  do  from  your  work,  but  you  are 
not  getting  all  that  you  could  out  of  your 
work,  if  in  the  getting  you  are  living  entirely 
to  yourself.  Having  friends,  an  1  making 
yourself  worthy  to  be  a  friend,  i;  quite  as 
much  a  part  of  your  four  years  here.  With 
this  new  point  of  view,  you  see  that  you  too, 
have  found  college  better  than  you  dreamed. 
So  let  us  try  to  see  our  college  life  as  a  well- 
rounded  experience,  full  of  many  kinds  of  ben- 
efits, and  offering  us  the  opportunity  if  we 
will  only  take  it.  of  becoming  in  the  fullest 
sense  truly  developed  women.

phasized    delightfully    the    pathos    of    poor 

"Cipher"  and  the  utter  forlorn  impossibility 
of  tlie  dominantly  feeble  "Gussie.  Against 
this  depressing  couple,  the  sensible,  generous, 
whole-souled  Dr.  Lavender  was  brought 
into  a  most  happy  contrast,  especially  grati- 
fying in  Cyrus'  interview  with  him.  As 
for  Letty,  her  vivacity  and  readiness  were 
the  life  of  the  whole  tale  and  throughout  it 
her  refreshing  influence  could  be  keenly 
felt. 

The  reading,  as  a  whole,  gave  us  the  im- 
pression of  becoming  rearquainted  with  old 
friends:  for  Mrs.  Deland's  characters  are 
always  true  flesh-and-blood  people  whom  we 
have  all  known  and  enjoyed  and  of  whom 
we  are  always  anxious  to  hear  more.

NOTICE. 


A  plea  has  come  for  books — preferably  books  of  poetry,  such  as 
Tennyson,  Whittier,  Longfellow,  etc. — from  the  Hillside  .School,  an

Christian  Association  Office,  and  will  be  much  appreciated. 


SHIRT=WAISTS  AGAIN. 


The  opportunity  for  making  good  the  sins  of  omission  seldom 
comes  to  the  omitting  sinner.  But  for  once  the  chance  is  here  to 
justify  your  really  good  intentions,  to  prove  that  they  will  bear  in- 
spection,—  to  make  your  idealism  and  your  sympathy  something 
more  than  pretty  words.  The  neglected  shirt-waists  are  again  to  be 
on  sale,  Thursday,  Friday  and  Saturday,  April  14,  15  and  16,  from 
nine  to  I've  in  the  Senior  Parlor.  The  shirt-waists  formerly  sold  at 
S4  and  $3.50  will  be  only  S2. 75.  A  three-days'  sale,  and  the  pub- 
licity of  bulletin  board  and  Nkws,  prevent  you  from  pleading  ig- 
norance of  the  present  opportunity.  If  you  approve  the  union  label 
and  that  which  it  represents,  you  will  do  more  than  eloquently  pro- 
claim your  approval,  you  will  give  it  your  active  support, — and 
active  support  means  something  more  solid  than  a  glowing  vo- 
cabulary. 


Individuality  and  style  in  footwear  are    always    of   im- 
portance.    Our  special  efforts   in  this  direction  comprise  an 
j  attractive  display,   introducing  many  new    styles    which    will 
be  used  by  all  smart  dressers    for    immediate    spring    wear.

MR.  CABOT  ON  THE  HOUSING  PROBLEM. 

"There  is  a  popular  fallacy  that  there  are  wicked  landlords  and 
wicked  tenants,"  said  Mr.  Philip  Cabot,  in  a  lecture  given  to  one 
of  the  Economic  Courses  7,  on  Friday  afternoon.  April  8,  "but 
I've  never  seen  either.  Both  landlords  and  tenants  are  often 
victims  of  circumstance,  but  few  landlords  ever  really  grind  the 
face  of  the  poor." 

Mr.  Cabot,  who,  for  fifteen  years,  has  studied  the  housing 
problem  in  Boston  and  the  vicinity,  went  on  to  say  that  the  worst 
question  facing  social  workers  to-day,  is  that  of  congestion  in  the 
tenement  district.  The  most  crowded  parts  of  the  city  are  Wards 
()  and  8,  the  North  and  West  Ends.  Here,  the  tenement  district 
covers  one  hundred  and  three  acres;  out  of  this  must  be  taken  room 
tor  streets,  as  well  as  for  churches,  schools  and  public  buildings, 
which  cuts  the  one  hundred  and  three  down  to  about  fifty  acres. 
On  this  fifty  acres  live  forty-four  thousand  people,  under  the  lowest 
possible  sanitary  conditions.  The  Board  of  Health  is  responsible  for 
the  lack  of  regulations  in  Boston  as  to  the  number  of  cubic  feet  of 
air  necessary  for  each  person.  The  minimum  number  of  cubic  feet 
required  in  sanitary  boarding  houses  is  four  hundred,  which  is  bare- 
ly half  of  what  one  would  get  in  a  very  small  bedroom;  and  of  the 
forty  thousand,  twenty  thousand  people  have  much  less  than  this 
regulation  amount.  The  effect  of  this  bad  sanitation  must  be  ex- 
ceedingly harmful  on  the  public  health,  although  statistics  give  no 
evidence  of  it.  Yet  the  United  States  census  shows  that  in  these 
two  wards,  there  is  an  average  of  one  hundred  and  forty-four  peo- 
ple to  one  hundred  rooms;  this  does  not  apply  to  bedrooms  only,  but 
to  kitchens  as  well! 

In  these  two  wards  values  of  land  have  doubled,  while  in 
Charlestown  and  East  Boston,  where  "model  tenement  houses" 
have  been  erected,  land  is  decreasing.  People  flock  to  the  more 
crowded  parts,  where  rent  is  cheaper;  correspondingly,  rents  must 
be  decreased  in  other  districts. 

If  these  conditions  are  to  be  improved,  it  must  be  accomplished 
through  the  working  of  an  economic  law.  The  motive  of  pity  is  too 
apt  to  be  weak  and  ineffectual.  The  Board  of  Health  has  power  to 
deal  with  the  situation,  but  it  rarely  takes  the  initiative  in  any 
action. 

However,  any  action  would  only  tend  to  raise  the  rent,  and  this 
brings  a  new  problem — the  poor  are  already  paying  all  they  can,  and 
ought.  What  is  to  be  done?  Mr.  Cabot's  theory  is  that,  if  a  stand- 
ard is  set,  to  which  many  cannot  reach,  the  number  of  foreigners 
crowding  the  tenement  districts  will  be  lessened;  they  will  be  forced 
to  seek  other  occupations,  preferably  farming,  for  which  many  op- 
portunities are  open. 

DR.    GIFFORD    ON    "PRACTICAL  CHRIS- 
TIANITY." 


At  the  Christian  Association  meeting,  on  Thursday,  April  7> 
Dr.  Gifford  spoke  on  the  essentials  of  Christianity,  emphasizing  the 
power  of  words  in  the  realm  of  Christian  thought. 

Immediately  after  the  meeting,  Dr.  Clifford  gave  a  lecture  on 
"Practical  Christianity."  His  two  main  points  were: — first,  be  sure 
you  are  right,  and  second,  seek  points  of  contact.  For  since  we  live 
in  a  universe  that  we  can  trust,  we  can  rely  on  ourselves  as  part  of 
that  universe,  and  can  therefore  come  to  decisions  which  we  know 
are  right,  through  careful  consideration.  If  we  would  be  what 
we  would  have  ourselves  be,  and  do  what  we  would  have  others  do, 
we  would  soon  find  the  necessary  points  of  contact.  Before  we  can 
reform  a  community,  we  must  reform  ourselves  and  if  we  make  the 
first  point  of  contact  with  the  home,  the  points  of  contact  with  the 
city,  the  country,  and  the  world,  will  follow  naturally.

REVIEWS  OF    BOOKS  ON  SUFFRAGE. 


The  Home,  by  Mrs.  Charlotte  Perkins  Oilman,  undertakes  the 
task  of  making   us   pause   to   reflect.      Before   the  end   of  the   first 
chapter  our  most  deep-seated  convictions  have  been  subject* 
searching  analysis.     Yet  Mrs.  Oilman  explicitly  states  her  belief  in 

the  home  ideal.  If  she  turns  it  about  before  our  eyes,  pointing  out  at 
almost  every  angle  present  defects,  she  does  this,  she  declares,  that 
the  home  of  the  future  may  benefit. 

Chapters  which  deal  with  the  evolution  of  the  civilized  home 
contain   little   that   is  new;  those,   however,   which   treat  of  definite 

aspects  of  home  life,  such  as  "The  Child  in  the  Home, l'he  Girl 

in  the  Home,"  "  Home  and  Social  Progress,"  repay  reading.

in  modern  social  conditions  and  not  afraid  to  face  realities.  His  in- 
sight seems  at  times  almost  like  a  scalpel  laying  bare  the  sub- 
conscious motives  of  men  and  women  with  absolute  impartiality. 

To  the  general  reader,  certain  chapters  are  of  especial  interest. 
The  first,  on  "Organic  Differences  in  the  Sexes,"  is  rather  technical 
but  necessary  for  a  clear  understanding  of  his  views,  one  of  his  con- 
clusions being — "The  extreme  variational  tendency  of  man  ex- 
presses itself  in  a  larger  percentage  of  genius,  insanity  and  idiocy; 
woman  remains  more  nearly  normal." 

The  five  chapters  from  page  55  to  page  201  might  well  be  omit- 
ted by  the  general  reader  as  too  technical,  being  mainly  studies  of 
the  evolution  of  modern  society  from  Bushmen,  negroes,  Israelites 
and  American  Indians.  He  places  many  facts  in  new  lights;  for  in- 
stance, instead  of  calling  the  Indian  lazy  for  allowing  his  wife  to 
carry  their  home,  he  says  the  woman  was  the  owner  of  the  house; 
"So  when  the  Indian  squaw  carries  the  wigwam  on  the  march  she  is 
carrying  her  private  property." 

The  three  remaining  chapters,  "The  Psychology  of  Modesty 
and  Clothing,"  "The  Adventitious  Character  of  Woman,"  ami 
"The  Mind  of  Woman  and  the  Lower  Races,"  an'  of  especial  inter- 
est to  women,  and  no  modern  woman  can  afford  to  be  ignorant  of 
the  basic  principles  here  clearly  expounded.  "Know  thyself"  is  a 
classic  bit  of  advice,  and  here,  every  woman,  whether  her  ruling 
passion  be  dress,  athletics,  marriage  or  study,  can  find  valuable  in- 
formation concerning  herself.

Possibly  this  is  an  opportune  moment,  since  1913  is  seeking 
privacy  for  her  bulletin  board,  to  suggest  that  there  are  four  other 
bulletin  boards  which  might  also  appreciate  privacy.  The  Freshman 
board  is  at  the  extreme  left,  and  it  is  scarcely  necessary  for  a  Fresh- 
man to  begin  at  the  extreme  right,  and  calmly  peruse-  the  four 
boards  until  she  reaches  the  fifth  one  which  it  is  her  duty  to  peruse. 
You're  right,  1913,  this  "unwritten  law"  should  be  observed. 

1910. 
II. 

In  a  recent  number  of  "The  Townsman,"  there  was  a  long 
satire  describing  an  imaginary  interview  between  the  two  famous 
characters,  Sherlock  Holmes  and  Dr.  Watson.  Their  conversation 
consisted  of  a  subtle  criticism  of  a  certain  careless  fault  of  ours, 
namely,  that  of  leaving  much  cast-off  rubbish  around  the  campus 
and  the  Wellesley  streets.  Sherlock  Holmes  was  represented  as 
having  deduced  various  interesting  truths  concerning  us  from  dif- 
ferent relies  of  ours  he  had  found.  His  collection  contained  all  man- 
ner of  delicacies  from  hairpins  to  cigarette  papers.  Although  the 
condition  depicted  in  the  article  was  probably  exaggerated,  yet  it  is 
doubtless  true  that  we  are  very  careless  about  littering  up  the 
campus  with  paper  bags  and  boxes  and  so  forth;  and  we  can  never 

00  careful  that  the  reputation  of  our  college  should  not  suffer 
from  an  individual  thoughtlessness.

"A  student  who  is  absent  from  an  examination  for  fails  to  hand 
in  a  final  paper  at  the  appointed  time)  must  send  a  letter  of  ex- 
planation to  the  Dean  not  later  than  twenty-four  hours  after  the 
close  of  the  last  examination  of  the  examination  period.  If  the 
reason  assigned  is  judged  adequate  by  the  Academic  Council,  the 
student  will  incur  a  'defieiency;'  if  the  reason  is  judged  inadequate, 
the  student  will  incur  a  'default '  or  'condition.'  If  the  student  fails 
to  make  an  explanation  within  the  time  speeified,  the  case  will  be 
treated  as  if  the  explanation  had  been  inadequate."  Art.  Ill, 
Sect.  6. 

"A  student  who  has  been  present  at  the  examination  long 
enough  to  see  the  examination  paper  will  not  be  considered  as  ab- 
sent from  examination."    Art.  Ill,  Sect.  8.

ALUMN/E    NOTES. 

In  addition  to  notes  concerning  graduates,  the  Alumnae 
column  will  contain  items  of  interest  about  members  of  the 
Faculty,  past  and  present,  and  former  students. 

A  member  of  the  class  of  1907  writes  as  follows: 

"I  wish  I  could  tell  you  what  these  two  years  of  teaching  have 
meant  to  me.  When  I  left  college  I  thought  of  teaching  merely  as  a 
way  of  earning  my  living,  but  now  I  know  it  is  a  great  opportunity 
for  service.  I  enjoyed  the  two  years  so  much,  especially  the  last  one. 
I  only  wish  I  might  tell  all  the  seniors  now  in  college  who  are  ex- 
pecting to  teach  next  year,  not  to  think  of  it  as  drudgery,  but  as  a 
splendid  opportunity  to  influence  boys  and  girls  to  true  ideals  of 
righteousness.  I  can't  begin  to  tell  you  how  many  mistakes  and 
failures  I  made,  but  no  amount  of  mistakes  could  take  away  my 
enthusiasm." 

The  Boston  Wellesley  Club  is  planning  to  give  next  fall  a  large 
public  entertainment,  the  proceeds  of  which  will  go  to  further  some 
interest  at  Wellesley,  probably  the  Students'  Building.  No  d< 
plan  of  entertainment  is  yet  settled,  but  the  committee  in  charge  is 
attempting  to  secure  a  play  of  real  literary  and  artistic  value.  It 
is  hoped  that  by  May  7,  when  the  club  will  meet  at  Billings  Hall, 
Welleslev,  some  definite  plan  may  be  ready  to  present.
